flower hardly above ^ inch long. Anthers obtuse, not apiculate. 

 Fruits not seen. 



Frutex erectus compactusque, 12-18" altus, glaber et glandu- 

 losis tuberculis dense tectus. Foliis trifoliatis, foliolis obovatis 

 5-7 mm. longis, petiolo communi circiter 5 mm. longo. Floribus 

 minutissimis in tricliotomis cymis parvis, bracteis circiter aeque 

 longis quam foliis et sfepe fere obscuratis sub foliis, toto Acre vix 

 4 mm. longo. Calycis lobis tomentosis, antheris non apiculatis.. 

 Fructus non vidimus. 



The new species can hardly be said to be closely allied to any 

 described species; its chief characteristic is its robust habit, more 

 like an Eriostemon than a Zieria. It comes perhaps nearest 

 Z. cytisoides and Z. ohcordata, but it differs essentially from both 

 in the inflorescence and the absence of hairs: the tubercular 

 glands it has in common with Z. grajiulata and some forms of 

 Z. Smithii, but hardly anything else, except the generic characters. 



ASTEROLASIA CORREIFOLIA Bentll., var. MUELLERI F.V.M. 



(A. Muelleri Benth.). 



Mt. Lindsay, Nandewar Range(R. H. Cambage; November^ 

 1909). 



The most northern locality recorded. It was recorded from 

 Victoria alone till the first New South Wales specimen was col- 

 lected, in 1900, at Lobb's Hole, in the Tumut district. The 

 second New South Wales locality brings its range to several 

 hundred miles further north. 



Phebalium Nottii F.V.M. 



Upper Copmanhurst(J. L. Boorman; October, 1909). 



Originally described from Queensland specimens, but recorded 

 by us, in 1898, as a New South Wales plant, from specimens col- 

 lected in the Harvey Range, near Peak Hill. The Copmanhurst 

 specimens have generally six or seven petals and calyx-lobes; and 

 are also, in other respects, closer to the typical Queensland speci- 

 mens than to those from the Harvey Range. They grow in rough 

 sandstone country, at an altitude of 1000 or 2000 feet, and aie 

 about 2^ to 3 feet high.
